Renowned author Stephen King, known for his criticisms of Donald Trump, once again took aim at the former president's supporters. King quoted Roy Blount Jr. on his X account on March 27, 2026: "Dissing MAGA is like wrestling with pigs. You can’t win, and the pigs enjoy it".

This statement drew mixed reactions on social media, with some users supporting King's stance and others opposing it. King has been a consistent critic of Trump, and his recent comments reflect his critical stance towards the Trump administration.

The reactions of social media users to King's comments were varied. Some users expressed their support for King's opinion, while others strongly criticized it. One user wrote: "Yes, but they are still filthy pigs and everybody knows it".

On the other hand, there were those who condemned King's comments, with one user commenting: "Donald Trump appears to be living rent-free in your cranium. Given the limited space there, glad you could fit him in". These reactions show the polarization of opinions surrounding Trump and his supporters.

King has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump for a long time. In a previous X post, dated March 22, 2026, King called Trump a "sociopath".

In another post, King criticized Trump for the ongoing war with Iran, writing: "Trump: 'If I hadn't bombed Iran, they would have had a nuclear weapon in 2 WEEKS!' Trump has said many stupid things. This may be the stupidest". These comments highlight King's critical stance towards Trump's policies and actions.

King's comments come at a time when a large number of demonstrators, as part of the "No Kings" rallies, gathered across the United States to protest against the POTUS’s policies, including the ongoing war in Iran, federal immigration enforcement, and the rise in living costs, as per the BBC.

The organizers stated that Trump wants to rule as a tyrant, but that in the United States, power belongs to the people. These protests, organized in more than 2,000 locations across the country, reflect popular discontent towards Trump's policies.

The author previously expressed his support for the "No Kings" rallies organized across the United States last year. Responding to an X post by House Speaker Mike Johnson, King wrote: "They are actually Love America rallies, Mike. Ordinary people, man, trying to save the country from a despot".

This statement underscores King's commitment to defending democratic values and his opposition to what he considers undemocratic policies.
